Introduction Data Hub is the new CAN connections multiplier to interface AIM data loggers (MXL Pro/Pista, EVO3 Pro/Pista, EVO4, MyChron4) with its peripherals using one only cable and minimizing wiring overall. Data Hub is available in two versions. Two ways Data Hub with external power. Four ways Data Hub to allow the CAN connection of more peripherals. It is also possible to connect more Data Hub in sequence to increase the number of CAN peripherals connected (see chapter 2 for further information). Data Hub is waterproof IP65.

Chapter 2 – How to use Data Hub
The two Data Hub are recommended for different applications but the main difference between them is the availability in the two ways version of external power with free cables as shown here below.
Four ways Data Hub, on the contrary, need the proper optional cable for external power to be plugged in one of the 4 inputs. Please note: when installing Data Hub to connect an AIM logger to its external expansion modules, both devices must be OFF.

2.1 – Two ways Data Hub
Two ways Data Hub is recommended for those installations that need CAN line remotation or in case SmartyCam, the AIM on board camera, is connected to logger like EVO3 Pro or MXL Pro05 with old generation cables. In those situations SmartyCam is not powered by the logger and needs the external power to be connected to the two ways Data Hub. Below connections schemes show the two situation as well as cables part numbers. To know in which other connections a two ways Data Hub is needed refer to www.smartycam.com connections section.

MXL Pro05 (with wiring V04.554.24) – SmartyCam connection with two ways Data Hub.
EVO3 Pro (with wiring V04.549.53) – SmartyCam connection with two ways Data Hub.

2.2 – Four ways Data Hub
Four ways Data Hub is recommended for those installations that need to increase the number of connected peripherals. Below schemes show connection of EVO3 Pro and MXL Pro05 with SmartyCam as well as part numbers of the needed cables. To know in which other connections a four ways Data Hub is needed refer to www.smartycam.com “Connections” section.
EVO3 Pro (with wiring V04.549.53) – SmartyCam connection with 4 ways Data Hub. External power cable (V02557020) is to be plugged in one of Data Hub four inputs because without an external battery connected to the vehicle master switch AIM logger cannot power SmartyCam too.

EVO3 Pro (with wiring V04.549.53/A) – SmartyCam connection with 4 ways Data Hub. In the connection scheme here on the left SmartyCam is powered through the CAN connection cable.
MXL Pro05 (with wiring V04.554.24) – SmartyCam connection with 4 ways data hub. External power cable (V02557020), is to be connected to one of the four Data Hub input because without an external battery connected to the vehicle master switch AIM logger cannot power SmartyCam too.
MXL Pro05 (with wiring V04.554.24/A) – SmartyCam connection. In the connection scheme here on the left SmartyCam is powered through the CAN cable. The image here below shows a network with 4 ways Data Hub connected in sequence:
